In fontainei the lobes of the uncus are rounded, there is only one small apophysis on the lower margin of the subunci, the protuberance on the margin of the tegumen is rounded and very large, and the branches of the inferior fultura are as in sorhageni. In the shape of the uncus, tegumen and subunci, the species of Zeritis are more closely allied to species of Axiocerses than to those of Chloroselas and Desmolycaena.
